And irrational desire to see 343 "get theirs", I'd wager.
Not gonna say people take the MCC launch issues too seriously (they're justified) ...but some definitely take it way too far.

Because no amount of bitching and complaining over the past year has seemingly convinced them to get their shit together and deliver on the promise they made of "just like you remember" on ANY of the Halo titles in the MCC.
Me thinking of a fictional scenario that I decided to throw up on a game forum where 343i gets boo'd viciously is taking it too far?
A lot of people remain upset, like me, because the game is still broken in sections...almost a full year later.
I'm pretty sure I've said it before, but they've spent the past year basically jingling a pair of shiny keys in one hand saying "look, over here! Halo 5!" while they blindly try to hodgepodge patch after patch after patch after patch for the MCC with the other hand.
EDIT: I know its other companies working on the patches...I'm not sure if that's good or bad considering how they all collectively managed to fuck up something like Halo.
And, as I've said, neither will that. So why are you bashing your head against a wall to show how bloody you can get?

TIL writing about a fictional scenario in which 343i gets boo'd is bashing my head against the wall.
Here's my own fan-fiction:
*343 releases final patch for MCC (rumoured to launch next week right?)
*Patch fixes all MCC problems (including my achievements problem)
*Halo 5 is released and gets 95 metacritic
*343 back in everyone's good books
*Halo 5 patch in 2016 adds splitscreen co-op and multiplayer

Bolded for truth.
Halo 5 will get a 90%+ - Even Halo 4 was a 98 or something outrageous at launch (it has since been made into a much better game).

I hope they focused on making MM actually work consistently and party stability.

Edit: Wrong thread.
Gamecheat found the Plasma Launcher in the Halo 4 files and rebuilded the weapon, so it works in Halo 4 on Composer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtAZjh3GFdc
Wished we would get a ViDoc about cut content again, similiar to this one, but I could see people getting mad over the cut content. I'm still mad about he cut UNSC boat for example.

Haven't seen that one either, very cool.
What's even more cool is that 343i used the Blind Wolves in the cover of "Hunters in the Dark":
Have to give 343i props for connecting the dots across the lore, even for stuff that was unused.
Haven't read the book, but it's Usze, right? Just saw it in the Halo 5 Gold thread.

I've had multiple games end early in the last few days because the host quit.
Dedicated servers.
Hopefully the patch allows host migration at the very least. Be nice to have parity with 2004 era Halo.

Too bad they couldn't figure out how to make them engaging or interesting either, like most of that book.

I found he sword fight between the Spartan and Elite to be kinda neat. But besides that it was only good for finding out who Spartan Vale is.

I thought this game already had host migration. Or is it only in lobbies?

I've still had games just abruptly end after literally 30 seconds in...not sure if it's because the host migration didn't work or the supposed dedicated server just died out.

Guys, I need some info on the Halo franchise. I saw some promotional material for Halo 5 and my interest was piqued. However, it seems that the impact of the story is going to be lost on someone who hasn't played the entire franchise.
I have always had an interest in getting into Halo, but for this or that reason never stuck with it. Played the first few missions of Halo CE, actually finished Halo 3: ODST because I picked it up and it seemed like a game that wouldn't rely so much on other stories, if it did, the references went over my head. I actually liked the feeling of that game a lot. But other than that, never really played the mainline games.
I tried getting into the franchise again, but was put off by how the graphics in the first game aged. I heard a remake was released, but I don't think that ever made it to the PC - my main platform. I'm considering getting an Xbox One now and heard so much about the Master Chief Collection.
My questions are:
1. Is the first game in the collection the original or the remake?
2. Do the campaigns have any sort of game breaking bugs in the collection?
3. How does the feel of the games stack up against what I saw in ODST?
4. Am I losing my time being interested in the story Halo has to tell?
Thanks for helping a brother out!

First game is the anniversary version. It's the same game but with new graphics. You can even toggle between new/old graphics with a button press. Halo 2 is also included as an anniversary version.
No game breaking bugs I encountered (finished all 4 main games).
Gameplay isn't that different from ODST. All games feel like Halo and play like Halo.
Halo's story is one of the best sci-fi told in videogames. If you want to go deeper there's tons of lore in media.

Thanks a ton!
The new terminals in Halo 1 and 2 do a better job in explaining the story. Also I'd recommend maybe catching up on who's the covenant and what do they want (principally what is the importance of Halo and their great journey).
But yeah it's worth it, have fun!

For those of you that don't know, I'm a huge fan of OU football. Soonersports.com did an exclusive piece on Baker Mayfield and his love of Halo 3. Mayfield was a freshman walk-on quarterback at Texas Tech who earned the starting job, but lost it due to injury. So he transferred to OU, lost a year of ineligibility in the process, and earned the starting starting job there after walking on to his second straight team. But the best part, apparently he can blain with the best in Halo 3 lol.

Where is Tashi? He needs to get in touch with this guy and do a follow-up interview or something.

That's it? I guess they're completely focused on Halo 5.
Yep. Guess I better saddle up and get ready to do that one again...
Probably just going to cheese it with a second controller.

Sooooo if you quit a game because your 3 other teammates quit before you, leaving you in a 1v4 match...the penalty is all the same?
Good fucking work....

There quite a few achievement problems not on that list. I heard completing the Ark on Legendary without vehicle achievement is no longer attainable, but no fix. Though I also haven't tested that yet.

Oh, sweet. Didn't think that was the name.
There are still problems though, I have the Legendary medal achievement reset or stuck at 4% I have way more than 4 legendary medals.

Lol they ain't never doing that, because then no one would get a game!
" how you enjoying them dedicated servers ?"
I've been going through Halo 1 on MCC again with my brother. We just beat 343 Guilty Spark, The Library, and Two Betrayals. That sequence of levels is so awesome. You're on this space installation killing aliens, and at first you think you're just fighting small skirmishes against Covenant aliens, and then the stakes become incredibly high very quickly.
My brother and I were blown away by the cutscene at the beginning of Two Betrayals. Cortana revealing what 343 Guilty Spark was trying to do, the Halo's true purpose revealed, 343 Guilty Spark's complete obliviousness - he's like an autistic sociopath and it never occurs to him why a sentient being like the Chief would NOT want to be exterminated.
Love it. I've played Halo 1 on 360 and that's the only Halo I ever played so this is all mostly a retread. But I can't wait until I get to Halo 2 - then finally I will start some new Halo material.

Beat Halo 2 Anniversary such an amazing game. You can really see and appreciate the differences between the OG version and the anniversary addition from cutscenes, audio and visuals. It's almost impossible to go back and play the original release.
Started the Halo 3 campaign and even seeing some of the opening cutscenes with Miranda Keyes and Admiral Hood makes me wish we got Halo 2: Anniversary cutscenes with Halo 3. The cutscenes in Halo 2:A are stunning.
Either way, Halo 2: Anniversary made me appreciate the overall Halo 2 campaign more despite all the initial backlash regarding the Arbiter and the ending. I'll wait till I beat Halo 3 again (and beat Halo 4) before I rank the campaigns but Halo 1 and Halo 2:A and neck and neck for me IMO.
